Recordkeeping: the First Defense of Deductibility
Most consumers and businesses are not experts in taxation. Whether or not a city, state, or even international tax can be deducted against the return of another level (e.g., a city tax from at state tax, a state tax against a federal tax) is a matter for a tax professional to decide. The blog post attempts of raise awareness of the issue, and to remind everyone that accurate recordkeeping is the first line of defense. Simply keeping accurate records will allow one's CPA or accountant to make the correct determination, and provide evidence to support the deduction in case of an IRS or FTB audit. (FTB, or Franchise Tax Board, is the state agency in California charged with tax collection).
